An amazing/creepy visualization of what life might be like when we are “jacked in” to a virtual overlay 24/7. Lots of great little details in the animation. Note the sea of advertising that can be controlled, paying you more money per second depending on your environmental saturation.

The future looks AWESOME!

Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.

The latter half of the 20th century saw the built environment merged with media space, and architecture taking on new roles related to branding, image and consumerism. Augmented reality may recontextualise the functions of consumerism and architecture, and change in the way in which we operate within it.

A film produced for my final year Masters in Architecture, part of a larger project about the social and architectural consequences of new media and augmented reality.

I’m skipping around Vimeo in an infographic mood tonight. Here’s a history of the Internet. Apparently foreigners had something to do with it?:

Found on NYT, some nice Radiology Art. The movies are particularly satisfying.


[Update: I downsized and recompressed the movie, exported it as an FLV, and implemented an open-source video player on the blog to play it back! --Steve.]

Why I Love the Internet

Don’t you just love it when you stumble onto a whole net niche you never knew about? I suppose I could have guessed it was out there, but I just discovered the world of retro design blogs…

My favorite so far is SO MUCH PILEUP, which offers such excellent features as Classic Bank Logos, weekly “Philately Fridays” with gems like these:

and don’t miss all the beautiful animated tv logos like these CBC bumpers!

It’s the ultimate l33t d00d video player — Courier New Tube. It converts selected YouTube videos to ASCII art – a feature also supported by VLC Media Player. (Pictured above: detail and scaled-down full-size screen shot from Weird Al Yankovic’s “White and Nerdy” video.)
